equipment such as pacemakers. Fail-
ure to take the precautions listed below
can increase the risk of severe injury or
death due to radio wave interference.
• Anyone who uses electrical medi-
cal equipment such as a pace-
maker should consult the medical
equipment supplier or their medical
advisor about whether radio waves
from the antenna(s) can interfere
with the medical equipment.

Read this section and the “Supplemental
Restraint System (air bags)” section to
learn more about the pretensioner system.
The seat belt pretensioner system works
with the SUPPLEMENTAL RESTRAINT
SYSTEM (Air Bags). The crash sensors
and the electronic controller of the air bag
system also control the seat belt preten-
sioners. When the air bags are triggered,
the pretensioner are also triggered. For
precautions and general information
including servicing the pretensioner sys-
tem, refer to the “Supplemental Restraint
System (air bags)” section in addition to
this “Seat Belt Pretensioner System” sec-
tion, and follow all those precautions.
The pretensioner is located in each front
seat belt retractor. The pretensioner tight-
ens the seat belt so the belt fits the occu-
pant’s body more snugly in the event of a
frontal crash. The retractors will remain
locked after the pretensioners are acti-
vated. Upon activation, some noise will
occur and some smoke may be released.
These conditions are not harmful and do
not indicate a fire in the vehicle.
The driver and all passengers must be
properly restrained by wearing seat belts
at all times, whether or not a pretensioner
is equipped at their seating position, to
minimize the risk of severe injury or death
in the event of a crash. Sit fully back in the seat; sit up straight; do
not lean forward or sideways. Adjust the
belt so the lap portion of the belt is worn
low across the pelvis, not across the waist.
Please refer to the “Seat Adjustment” sec-
tion and the instructions and precautions
about the seat belts in this “Seat Belts and
Child Restraint Systems” section for details
on proper seat and seat belt adjustments.
Please note that the pretensioners along
with the air bags will activate in severe
frontal collisions. They are not designed to
activate in rear impacts, side impacts, roll-
overs, or minor frontal collisions. The pre-
tensioners can be activated only once. If
the pretensioners are activated (that is, if
the air bags are activated), have the pre-
tensioner system serviced by an autho-
rized MARUTI SUZUKI dealer as soon as
possible.
If the “AIR BAG” light on the instrument
cluster does not blink or come on briefly
when the ignition switch is turned to the
“ON” position, or the engine switch is
pressed to change the ignition mode to
“ON”, stays on for more than 10 seconds,
or comes on while driving, the pretensioner
system or the air bag system may not work
properly. Have both systems inspected by
an authorized MARUTI SUZUKI dealer as
soon as possible.
Service on or around the pretensioner sys-
tem components or wiring must be per-formed only by an authorized MARUTI
SUZUKI dealer who is specially trained.
Improper service could result in unin-
tended activation of pretensioners or could
render the pretensioner inoperative. Either
of these two conditions may result in per-
sonal injury.
To prevent damage or unintended activa-
tion of the pretensioners, be sure the bat-
tery is disconnected and the ignition switch
has been in the “LOCK” position or the
ignition mode has been “LOCK” (OFF) for
at least 90 seconds before performing any
electrical service work on your MARUTI
SUZUKI.
Do not touch pretensioner system compo-
nents or wiring. The wires are wrapped
with yellow tape or yellow tubing, and the
couplers are yellow. When scrapping your
MARUTI SUZUKI, ask your MARUTI
SUZUKI dealer, body repair shop, or scrap
yard for assistance.

– You can drive more smoothly with less
frequent gear changing
Going down a steep hill
– Some engine braking is provided
NOTE:
If you move the gearshift lever to a lower
gear while driving faster than the maximum
allowable speed for the lower gear, the
transaxle will not actually downshift until
your speed drops below the maximum
speed for the lower gear.

VEHICLE LOADING AND TOWING
74LH0-74E
Brakes
Ty r e s
MirrorsCheck to see if your vehicle’s mirrors meet
local requirements for mirrors used on
towing vehicles. If they do not, you must
install the required mirrors before you tow.
Vehicle/Trailer LoadingTo load your vehicle and trailer properly,
you must know how to measure gross
trailer weight and trailer nose weight.
Gross Trailer Weight is the weight of the
trailer plus all the cargo in it. You can mea-
sure gross trailer weight by putting the fully
loaded trailer on a vehicle scale.
Nose Weight is the downward force
exerted on the tow bar by the trailer cou-
pler, with the trailer fully loaded and the
coupler at its normal towing height. This
weight can be measured using a bathroom
scales.
The weight of your loaded trailer (Gross
Trailer Weight) should never exceed the
“Towing capacity”.
Distribute cargo in your trailer so that nose
weight is about 10% of gross trailer weight,
but does not exceed “Maximum vertical
load on trailer hitch point”. You should
measure gross trailer weight and nose
weight before towing to make sure that
your load is properly distributed.
WA R N I N G
If trailer brakes are used, you should
follow all instructions provided by
the manufacturer. Never connect to
the brake system of your vehicle and
never take an electrical supply
directly from the wiring harness.
WA R N I N G
When towing a trailer, it is very
important for your vehicle and trailer
to have properly inflated tyres. Your
vehicle’s tyres should be inflated to
the pressures listed on your vehicles
Tyre Information label. If laden pres-
sures are listed on the label, the tyres
should be inflated to the laden pres-
sures. Inflate trailer tyres according
to the specifications provided by the
trailer manufacturer.
WA R N I N G
Improper weight distribution of your
trailer may result in poor vehicle han-
dling and swaying of the trailer.
Always make sure that trailer nose
weight is about 10% of gross trailer
weight, but does not exceed “Maxi-
mum vertical load on trailer hitch
point”. Also make sure that the cargo
is properly secured. Failure to
observe this requirement may result
in an accident.
WA R N I N G
Never overload your trailer or your
vehicle. Gross trailer weight must
never exceed the “Towing capacity”.
Gross vehicle weight (sum of the
weights of the vehicle, all the occu-
pants, accessories including tow
bars and a trailer hitch, cargo and
trailer nose weight) must never
exceed the Gross Vehicle Weight Rat-
ing (GVWR) listed in the “SPECIFICA-
TIONS” section.
